l02turner Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Hello - I am working with a wiring diagram which is 8.5x11 normally. I'd like to enlarge the image to print on 4 pages each 8.5x11 that I can tape together so I end up with a large image that I should be able to read more easily. Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klaxxon Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 (edited) 1. Select All2. Copy3. Go to Image > Canvas Size and check Maintain aspect ratio4. Width x 45. Edit > Paste into New Layer (Ctrl+Shift+V)6. Stretch selection to whole page (press Shift Key and hold down)7. Delete Background For print you need Adobe Acrobat or another program.

klaxxon Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Or you must make 4 crops and save as new image then print with PDN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l02turner Posted May 13, 2013 Author Share Posted May 13, 2013 thanks -- a question -- when you say "change width X 4" How do I do this? In the menu for changing the canvas size there is a place to increase the image from 100% to 400% but I'm not sure this is the right place to change the width X4 as you suggested. I really appreciate the help --- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 400% - that would do both height and width. The other option is to manually calculate by taking your starting width and multiply that by 4. Type that into the Width box.
